skyblue Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Installed a 1 in. sway bar on Saturday. Install was kind of a bitch cause I used these bushings and the holes did not lineup with the frame holes. So I had to hack them up. Made it work with some help from tendril. 1 Quote Link to comment

Plus I like the mpg's and cold starts easeI bet you'd get about the same mileage with an L20 with a well tuned single side draft as you would with a KA. It'd probably be easier to find bigger L stuff than doing all the work for a KA. I do remember Antony saying he wants to put his matching numbers L16 back in his car. Take his 2.2 :p 1 Quote Link to comment

Carbs would be sweet. But I'm gonna keep it EFI. I bet you'd get about the same mileage with an L20 with a well tuned single side draft as you would with a KA.

But power I don't think so. ;) Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 The ECU and MAF are specific to which type of KA you get (S13 or S14) ... same with wiring harness, coil/dizzy and some intake parts. Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I have s13 dual cam ka parts Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I grabbed the ecu from the same car but i later found it it was a single cam car. So now I'm on the fence wether I should stick to my plan of dual cam or go single cam. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Single is a sexier looking motor. Duals are nice, but man they are just boring looking. 2 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yea I'm told the dual only pump out 10 extra HP's. Over the single. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 A little more track prep. Tune-up Fixed a flat on track tires. Wheel swap There's a few more things I'm gonna try to do before Saturday. Stay tuned. 7 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I dont have much experience with single, but i can tell u duals are really fun, they are like a small stroker engine that just want to breath better and bring the monster out, deleting all smog, and unnecessary stuff is what they love, u need to ask someone with a ka swap for a ride to better understand 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Cool. Thanks for your input. Did some more track prep yesterday. Weight reduction. Lol Fucked with the carb and checked tire pressure. Wrapping it up for the night. 3 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Small update. I was cleaning out my carb a week ago for the fun run and noticed I had mix matched pump jets Rag10 had a pair of 45's so I put those on. But I felt a loss of power. Couple of fun run pics by kawagon When we got back to the shop I found the other mix matched set of pump jets. I guess I fucked up the jetting when i was setting up the carb. So I put the 50's in. Feels muck better with the 50's. 3 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yesterday i changed out my alt cause it started making noise. Bearing started taking a shit. Kind of a bummer cause the old alt was only 11 months old in my car. Also put the snowflakes back on And did some more carb tuning. I swapped emulsion tunes from F15 to F11 4 Quote Link to comment
